Narrado por: Soraya Chemaly

The author of the “must-read” (NPR) Rage Becomes Her presents a powerful manifesto for communal resilience based on in-depth investigations into history, social science, and psychology.

We are often urged to rely only on ourselves for strength, mental fortitude, and positivity. But with her distinctive “skill, wit, and sharp insight” (Laura Bates, author of Girl Up), Soraya Chemaly challenges us to adapt our thinking about how we survive in a world of sustained, overlapping crises.

It is interdependence and nurturing relationships that truly sustain us, she argues. Based on comprehensive research and eye-opening examples from real-life, The Resilience Myth offers alternative visions of relational hardiness by emphasizing care for others and our environments above all.

My next book club selection

This is excellent information, and so well presented.
This will be especially useful for educators or folks who have had some foundation in social justice and anti-racism. The information is also just generally useful for human beings.

Not really about resilience, just complaining

Was excited to read the book and see an alternative view to the concept of grit. There were stories with limited research and insight. Was tiresome to listen to the complaining tone vs solution oriented attitude.
